Continuing Halachot of Chodesh Nissan's Birkat HaIlanot
1. One is allowed to say Birkat HaIlanot on Shabat, but its better to say it on a regular Yom Chol (weekday). Unless he/she has the opportunity to say the Bracha during the last Shabat before the end of Chodesh Nissan because he/she thinks they might forget to say the Bracha (because it is meant to be said during Chodesh Nissan so during another month he/she might forget). The people who rush to do mitzvot and are quick to schedule their lives around mitzvot should do Birkat HaIlanot on Rosh Chodesh Nissan or the following day.
2. One should put great effort to understand the words of Birkat HaIlanot and to actually mean the words they are saying. This Bracha "fixes" the souls locked in the bodies of the fruits in the trees and bushes that the Bracha is being said upon. When saying the Bracha one should ask Hashem to show Rachamim on these souls.
